Default Saw an A5 in Tampa?

I'm a Lexus guy, but I follow all the new concepts. On Wednesday night, 10pm,I saw what I now know to be an A5 on 275 in Downtown Tampa. The rear is Aston Martin wide. An absolutely stunning car. It had Michigan Maufacturer tags. I know I suck no pictures.

The headlights appeared to have a row of LED's running along the bottom and side (you can almost see them in the photos on edmunds NY auto show pics) that looked very sharp in the rear view mirror.

I think it had a two tone paint - but it may have been the lighting (or lack thereof)

Real nice car.

They are probably testing them. There was a bunch of R8's in the winter testing in ohio. They were beating the hell outta them. Salty as hell when i saw them. I dont even think they are for sale yet.

I wouldn't be surprised. I was talking to Jeff, the service manager at Reeves Audi--apparently that dealership has alot of pull--as evidenced by the fact that they had 2 RS 4's on hand at one time, and the 'R8 party' that they had a couple of weeks ago. When I get back, I'll ask him if they have one, or if they were just 'borrowing' it for a while.

I've already seen them--they have a hardtop manual and an auto convertible. Honestly, I prefer my A4- same engine 2x the space. A little less sporty/sexy maybe, but def more practical. But one thing I did like is those new seats! Not the fugly baseball ones, but the new composite leather ones. Theyre sweeet!
